Rainbow Light, a developer and manufacturer of vitamins and supplements, has introduced Rainbow Light Vibrance For The First Thousand Days. Based on the latest science of early childhood development, Rainbow Light’s new line of non-GMO multivitamins promotes optimal nutrition for mom and baby during the vital period, from conception to year two.

A recent report by the American Academy of Pediatrics emphasized the significant role adequate nutrition plays in a child’s physical and neurological development during their first thousand days of life, laying a foundation for long-term health. By age two, a child’s brain has grown more than it will at any other time in their life. However, any setback in brain development resulting from malnutrition during this time cannot be recovered in subsequent years. Thus, the nutrients they receive during their first thousand days are pivotal for helping them grow to their fullest potential. Insufficient nutrition during this period has been linked to a number of long-term health and economic challenges.

“The first thousand days of life is a critical time point for development of all of the bodily systems, and studies suggest that nutrition during this time has a long-term impact on the health and well-being of the baby,” said Dr. Nicole Avena, neuroscientist, expert in prenatal and early childhood nutrition, and ambassador for Rainbow Light. “Cognitive development and immune functioning, in particular, are sensitive to nutritional status early in life. Rainbow Light’s six-phase line of multivitamins ensures that moms-to-be and babies get the right balance of nutrients needed for a healthy start in life, from pre-conception through toddlerhood.”

The Rainbow Light Vibrance For The First Thousand Days line features six different multivitamins tailored to meet mom and baby’s evolving nutritional needs at each stage of their First Thousand Days journey:
